Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.6 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
9 of 14 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Only 0.10 catches per match over 41 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.72 for the level played (State competition 13 · Rep Div 1 20 · Club 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 12.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 0.84 per match at 19.3, economy 3.17, strike rate 36.4.
